A Man's Measure

I know we share respect and admiration for Gordon B. Hinckley. He was the prophet of your youth just as Spencer W. Kimball was the prophet during mine. I came across a tender story he shares that shows the impact for good we can have on others' lives by the good examples that we set.

Without further ado, let's listen to the words of this very wise man.



If we can follow this example with our families, friends, and everyone we meet, we will find lasting joy that will break down barriers, lift spirits, and permeate goodwill every where we go.

That's the defining characteristic of the great men I know. They make those around them better, stronger, happier, and more confident.

"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." - Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)
